Cartridge Core: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.35 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.70 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For cartridge core, the drivers are material, fit size, print method, count per unit, assembly method, transparency, mold complexity, branding area — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing bulk pricing for 510 cartridges clusters around about $1.00–$1.50 per unit at 500–999 units, improves to roughly $0.85–$1.35 at 1,000–4,999, and reaches about $0.85–$1.00 at higher mid-volume tiers; these quotes are consistent with wholesale listings from US distributors and bulk-order pages. Price moves most with material stack (glass/ceramic vs. premium all-glass), branding/custom printing, and whether the order is stock hardware or OEM/custom-tooled; higher counts usually unlock factory-direct pricing, while complex molds, larger branding areas, and tighter fit/airflow specs raise cost. The most realistic routes are US wholesalers for smaller runs and direct OEM/import programs for 10k+ units, with landed-equivalent import pricing generally needed to reach the lowest tiers.
